So I missed a couple of blog posts last week, and I don’t currently have any more lined up in the queue. I know I said I’d try to blog daily from now on, and I intend to work up to that, but I’ve got to get other things in order first. Here’s what I’ve… Continue reading Quick update

Quick update from Massachusetts
Hey guys, this is just going to be a quick update since it’s midnight here on the east coast and I’m pretty tired from the three-day train ride. Sleeping on the train is like skipping stones, where all you’re really doing is seeing how far you can go before you crash (and I’m due for… Continue reading Quick update from Massachusetts
Struggling not to settle
I’m in the middle of my first revision pass through Heart of the Nebula, direct sequel to Bringing Stella Home, and…I don’t know exactly how to put this, but the story seems to be simultaneously smoother and more shallow. Plot-wise, everything works great; character-wise, there just doesn’t seem to be as much depth as my… Continue reading Struggling not to settle
Star Wanderers 0.2 is finished!
That’s right; I just finished the second draft of the beginning of Star Wanderers, the novel that came out of nowhere like a surprise baby. I’m sending it out to my alpha readers now, so I can get some feedback before submitting it to Writers of the Future. If I know you in real life… Continue reading Star Wanderers 0.2 is finished!
Still alive
This post is just to let you know that I’m still alive, that I haven’t gone anywhere, and that I’m still writing. I’ve been a little disorganized recently, with job obligations (this is my last week), a TEFL course to finish, and other stuff…can’t quite remember what other stuff, but I’m sure there was something.… Continue reading Still alive
Worldcon 2011: Wednesday
Just a quick update from Renovation before I crash for the night. We left Provo pretty early–about 6:30, actually–and met up with Eric in Eagle Mountain. The drive to Reno was pretty long, but we had some awesome geeky conversations along the way. My favorite: how to successfully conduct an alien invasion. So we rolled into… Continue reading Worldcon 2011: Wednesday
Quick update
Just an update before I go to bed (and hopefully don’t sleep in like this morning). My writing’s tapered off a bit this past month, partially because I’ve got a lot on my plate (Worldcon, online TEFL course, moving apartments, working full time, etc), but also because I’m between projects and not totally absorbed in… Continue reading Quick update
Back in Mass
Mass = Massachusetts = “back east,” for all you unwashed Utahans! My sister’s wedding is this weekend, so I’m back at my parents’ place helping them get everything set up. It’s going to be a busy day tomorrow, but I’ve got my netbook and will probably get a couple good hours of writing in. I… Continue reading Back in Mass
Goals for May
The last two weeks have pretty much decimated my writing routine. Between family stuff and a 40 hour per week temp job, I’ve pretty much fallen behind on everything. However, the good news is that with the money from the temp job, I can afford to take a month off to work exclusively on writing… Continue reading Goals for May
Spinning out
Just a quick post before I go to bed…and I really should, because it’s freaking late. I feel like I’ve been getting more and more busy, yet less and less productive. It’s @%$! frustrating. In the last two weeks, I’ve had numerous job applications and interviews (though not as many interviews as I’d like), tons… Continue reading Spinning out
